I would think that it will be very difficult for KVHI to meet a 50% growth profit percentage. Military sales seem to be the highest margin business they have, but sales are irregular and thus gross profit percentage will likely bounce around. Fiber Optics products don't carry such a high gross margin percentage, do they?

I can see KVHI continuing to grow the top line, and maybe getting to a 45% margin, but 50% seems too good to ever be true. Note that increasing the margin to 50%, growing the sales and keeping costs in line, should obviously make the bottom line grow.
